Just a few words to let let you know I'm back from the wilderness and will be posting here within the next few days.As I'd been writing constantly during the past 4 years I thought/felt it was time to take a break from that nonsense and have a proper rest from it all where words and sentences and themes were not my first waking thoughts. As many of you know the actual process of writing for me is just a nightmare. I've never enjoyed the physical act of getting these words down, and really only do it from a desperation to say the things my mouth has never been able to. Anyway, there you have it: I'm in from out the cold.

The upcoming post will almost certainly be a set of four or five little texts, each one concerning thoughts and sadnesses which have been plaguing me since the end of last year. One of the pieces will pick up on the last post here, though rather than addressing what happens POST-junk it will focus on the PRE-junk dawn... my last year of sober living.

I look forward to your next posts. I only recently came across your blog, in fact I also found myself anxiously waiting to see if you would be back after reading your last post and the comments after it that suggested people were concerned not to hear from you. There is something tenacious yet also somehow fragile that comes across in your writing and am so in awe at your capacity to write so brilliantly and so honestly.

Thank christ your still with us,been really down after checking excitedly(like a little kid)see if any new postings,for whats felt like an eternity. every night! sad a know but a really live for your writing mate and thats the truth,excuse my gushing candour,a know absence makes heart,,,blah..but really, welcome back pal.
